There’s a good story in the Ben & Jerry’s cookbook about how Ben and Jerry argued about which size chunks of Heath bar to use in their ice cream.

They ended up with the perfect mix of little shards and big chunks by freezing a case of Heath bars and throwing it onto the concrete floor from the top of a ladder.

It was my favorite ice cream...wish somebody else sold something similar...

Making your own isn’t hard at all if you have the kitchen space to store a machine. The cheaper ($50-70) ones where you pre-freeze an ice pack are plenty to get started. It really isn’t much more than stirring and then waiting.

My favorite thing is to get in-season Hood strawberries and mix those into a real vanilla base. So good!

You can also just use a regular kitchen-aid mixer, and some liquid nitrogen.

I went to visit the factory, the have a flavor “graveyard” with gravestones with all the discontinued flavors.

I became a little disappointed watching them wear Ppe masks and pour guar gum into the icecream liquid..They said it smooths the texture...
